The pattern goes like this: 0, 5, 12, 21, 32, 45
and I need to find out the formula for this pattern but I can't seem to figure it out.
Pls help me!

d0=0512213245⋯1. Difference d1=5791113⋯2. Difference d2=2222⋯
an=(n−10)⋅d0+(n−11)⋅d1+(n−12)⋅d2
an=(n−10)⋅0+(n−11)⋅5+(n−12)⋅2=(n−1)⋅5+n−12⋅n−21⋅2=5n−5+(n−1)(n−2)=5n−5+n2−3n+2=2n+n2−3an=−3+2n+n2

0 + 5 = 5
5 + 7 = 12
12 + 9 = 21
21+ 11 = 32
32 + 13 = 45.
The pattern hides in the bold numbers :)
I was answering the problem also Max, but realized he asked for an equation and didnt know how to do that? like (x+(5+(nth+2)))but that isnt correct
